imaginate 2.02 and edius 4.51

Hi Xman

quite simply, rendering from the timeline does not work, but you are quite right that it is z not X - a bit of type finger trouble on my part!

URGENT


Guys Guys chill I was testing so many 4.5 things at once.

Do the following.
Go to your first IVP that doesn't play.
Now open Imaginate.
Open that ivp
Go to project properties and turn on Alpha project.
If it already on turn it off and save the turn on again and save.
Now close Imaginate
IVp will now play real time without problems.

That rendering thing I wrote was for performance issues after this was done.
I am sorry for any confusion I have caused. But This will get you guys up and running in no time.

Hi,

It wil only work for a still picture and not for a animation! or a number of animated pictures.
So you can test what you want but only the first picture is show in the timeline and i don't have a problem with realtime playback.
It simply won't play the animation of a number of pictures.

Hi again SR

Thank you for your additional info, unfortunately I still can't get anything other than a freeze of the first frame using your method - I must be doing something wrong?

I can't get any of my IVT to work

all I can do now is render them to DV which looks very low res compared to opening the IVT direct in timeline

Hi Anton

Are you able to render your IVP's to dv within edius 451? If so how did you do it - I'm afraid I couldn't even get this to work so have resorted to making avi's within Imaginate which is a right royal pain!

I will keep trying

remember, I mostly work in SD 16:9

I feel that the ability to use Imaginate project files directly on the timeline has been a distinctive of Edius the value of which has obviously been overlooked.

This issue really makes a mess of what had been a pretty efficient work-flow. This really is a shame - please, GV, can you take a view on fixing this for us?

Hold on guys. I have discovered something which makes this look like russian roulette.
For now we say it does not work until I can sort this out.

Hi Steve

It might well be that we've mis-understood or mis-applied your fix procedure or are working with different parameters. Please could you clarify each step and also your project settings for both Edius and Imaginate.

I'm really keen to get this working.

kind regards

Andrew

Hold on.....we are testing.
Don't waste your time trying.
Will post as soon as I have more info.

Final report.

We have discoverd what is going on.

I told you to wait because in testing we had one machine where it did not work.

But we now have discovered what was going on and here it is:
I want you guys to try the following.

If this works it is a temp fix.


Every body who is having problems with ivp do this.
Open the ivp in imaginate
Add a audio file to the project. Doesn't matter what you can mute it in Edius.
Save the project file with audio.
Now go in the edius and scrub over that IVP.

You could discover that on some machines it won't play realtime all the way.
solution
select the ivp on the timeline and press shift + g you will see a green line on the ivp when it is done. realtime all day baby. That render is smart so it will follow the ivp where ever you drag it.

Please report your findings so that we here can look in to it.

Ok I need a rest now :)

SR You are a genius!!

It Works!!! - adding the audio did it and I can now stick the IVP files on the timeline in Edius. Full functionality appears to be restored - many thanks for all the time you spent on this Steve, this has undoubtedly saved a few of us from having to roll back to an earlier version.
